EGGS FROM EVERY STATE.
Why Northern Hens Lay Bigger Egg
Than Southern Hens.

Why Northern Hens Lay Bigger Eggs
Than Southern Hens.
Eggs begin to come from the south in
January" said q Dey street dealer, "and they
run NJ Just like shnd and strawberries. A
few come from Texas. There is big money
in the business there IL it is developed. But
IL isn't worked up yet. North Carolina starts
i'm first. In about four weeks afterward we
get some from Washington, which come
from the Shenandoah Valley. Then come
the eastern shore eggs"
(Which nextf"
pennsylvania, and then come Ohio, West
Virginia and Kentucky. Ohio usually drops
in n month after North Carolina, but this
year she was even with her"
(Which are next in the processionT
"The far west and southwest, by why Of
Kansas and st. Louis. Then Iowa and Iii
nois. After them como northern Indiana,
Minnesota, Dakota, northern Iowa and
Michigan. We get some-not many-from
Dakota
allow about New York;
"This state has so many large towns that
most of her eggs are consumed in the interior
markets. After they get through picking,
however, New York dealers send us some
fresh eggs in the summer. Canada comes
next 70 the far west, Foreign eggs have
been barred out this season because prices
have been better in England. They took very
well where they could be sold for enough
less to make it an object for people to uss
them"
"why are southern eggs so much
smnllerI"
THAT is because they adhere so much to
the game fowl down there. The difference is
not only in size, but in the quality OF the
meat The Cochins, Plymouth Rocks or any
northern breeds afford altogether more nutri-
ment in their eggs than the southern fowl.
The best way to ship is in free cases, with
patent dividing pasteboard, unless the ship
per is a very skillful packer, when the best
way is to send them in barrels packed in cut
straw
as much picking doneT"
There are firms in New York state that
pickle from 100 to l 900 barrels, $40 to a barrel.
Iowa has single picklers that put away from
800 to 5000 barrels, and so has Minnesota.
Chicago has refrigerators that can hold
$1,000 cases In this city the refrigerator
are only used in cases of emergency. But talk
about picking eggs, Germany takes the lead.
There are some watts in this country that hold
5000 eggs, but one German picker has n vat
that holds 500 barrels, or 10000 eggs. He
pickles yearly from 1900 to 1OO,O 600 barrels
of eggs, or from 5000, 900 to 81, 900, 900 eggs.'

sweep of Natures crimson Rru,,.

There is a young woman on the north
side who has hair SO red that it is said
h would surely bleed to death were it
to be clipped with scissors or knife. This
painful sweep of natures crimson brush
has provoked mo- or less comment in
the neighborhood in which the young
lady lives; but the poor girl who has
been at the filings of the gossips has one
stanch friend in a little sister-a wee
mite of a thing, with a heart filled to
overlooking with the milk of human
kindness. One day last week the maiden
with the sanguinary tresses was chatting
under some taunt from a neighboring
doorstep, when the little cherub ran up
to her, and, throwing a pair of chubby
arms about her neck, exclaimed:
we know your hair is black, sister;
it only looks pink. Chicago Herald.

O'BRlEN IN JAIL.

O'Brien's cell in the Tullsmoor jail is
six feet by eight, and he sleeps on plank
bed. The Irish editor thinks this indig-
nifty enough without doing mental offices
and wearing the prison garb, which he
refuses to do. He has notified the gov
e-nor of the prison of his intention to re,
sist all attempts to treat him as an ordi-
nary prisoner. 1t is scarcely likely
that his demands will be scceded to.
The intention of the Tories, from the
moment of O'Brien's arrest, was to dis
grace and humilate him, and through
him the cause of Irish liberty. which
O'Buen now undoubtedly represents
whatever his shortcomings or deficiencies
as political leader.
But will the degradation of O'Brien
add any glory to the English
crown, or will his incarceration
have the intended effect of
crushing out the native-born spirit OF
Irish patriotism: Apparently it Will have
al opposite result. 1t is, to day, more OF
a disgrace to the London monarchy than
to the Irish editor, who occupies felon't
cell because of free speech, and it will dt
more to feed the historic fires of Irish
hatred for England and the English thar
all that O'Brien could have said on the
hastings or from the lecture platform
O'Brien, in his six by eight cell, and re
cliniug on his plank bed, is more power
full pleader for the Irish cause then hi
ever was with his limbs unfettered and il
the saLctum of his paper, United Ire
land" The English government may
force him to wear the prison garb and sub
NIT to all the Indignities of common
prisoner, but it cannot destroy the cause
or suppress the sentiment of which
O'BrIen is prominent exponent.

LOUISIANA TRoUB LEs.

Ten thousand negro lsborers are on
strike in the sugar parishes of Louisiana,
demanding higher wages, at the instiga-
ton of the knights of Labor. They in
tend neither to work themselves, nor al
low their white employers to introduce
new and white hands at the old rates
the latter being both ready and willing to
work. The striking negroes will have to
be evicted from their places and
their cabins on the plantations
to make room for their success
sors. Just here trouble is expected.
The white planters are determined to re-
sist the demands of the strikers, and the
question at issue Is tine same old issue
presented 80 often by the Knights of
Labor in the northern states, and, upon
one notable occasion, in Texas. It is
whether the proprietor of business shall
be allowed to manage his personal affairs,
employ whom he pleases, and pay what
he thinks his business iustifes him in
paying. The issue is the same in Louis
lana p elsewhere, but it has
been sprung among class of population,
nor glolsn' and brutal than any that
have yet been operated on by the Knights
of Labor, and the dangers of violence,
riot and bloOdshed are increased in the
same ratio.
This is the first open attempt of the
Knights of Labor to array consolidated
negro labor against the white race. Now is
the time to nip the whole movement
in the bud, and crush ont by force,
if necessary, and once for all
this other form Of anarchism. Governor
McEnery cannot act with too much
promptness or determination. The
negroes, as we'll as their allies, the knights
should be taught lesson that will last
them till kingdom come. Oily dali ing
with this newly developed danger to the
planting interests and the white people Of
the south is mere folly. 1t must be
choked off at once, or the future conss-
quences cannot be computed or estimated

outraged people of this country to treat
him and others of his ilk to a
hempen necktie, judicially, if
possible, but tied anyhow. This
snditious and cowardly blstherskite
went on further to say in his speech, that
something worse than the late civil war
would follow the execution of the Chicago
fends. Well, be it so. The great body
of the people of these United States, dis
gusted, tired and disgraced by the doings
OF these foreign fends, will take the
chances of something worse than the late
civil war in the attempt to crush out these
demons and their villiany. Nobody is
frightened at the threats of Selchwitch
and his CROWD, scattered as :hey are in
every city in the United States, and they
may as well shat up, for the people of
this country intend to put them down. If
the Chicago execution don't answer, it can
be followed up by the hanging of more
of those designing villains.

is any better now than ten years ago,
before the boom was thought
of. can very readily be denied.
That the little old wooden Mexican town
of Los Angeles is more tempting place
of residence to-dsy-with single, unfur-
nished rooms renting at $3s, cash in ad-
vance-than it was five years ago, may
also be denied. It can likewise be
asserted that, in no respect. is California,
or any part of it, any more desirable
for residence, for agriculture
or for business, than Texas or any
part thereof.

CERTAINLY SILLY.

Lord Byron on one occasion spoke of
another noble lord, who did not stazd in
very high repute on the score of intel
lect, as certainly silly" The stanza, in
which the expression occurs, is Just now
applicable to our young friend of the
Temple Daily Herald,
The Herald, in the matter of excluding
from the public free schools of
that county the child or children Of dis
reputable parents, makes coarse, gross,
utterly unwsrranted and ungentlemanly
attack upon Prof. Cooper, our worthy
state superintendent oi public instruction.
The sole offense of Superintendent
Cooper, in the eyes of the rampant cross
roads editor of Temple, is that when the
question of closing the doors of the school
against the child in question was pre-
scented. he ruled IL IN .-.-rr,-
In doing so. Superintendent Cooper not
only did what he and every other sensible
man considers was his duty under the
school law, but he did his duty as the able
learned, noble and charitable minded man
that he is. Prof. Cooper, in making the
ruling, simply expresses the sentiment Of
the great and generous people of Texas
who designed the public free schools fol
all-for rich and pOor-for the lowliest
child that can get dime to buy speller
The position assumed by the Herald i:
most ridiculously absurd. Were Superiu
tendent Cooper to rule that the trustee:
had power to keep all poor children on
of school whose parents happened not t
be in good repute, the whole aim and OBJ
iect of our free school system would be lost
Superintendent Cooper can well afford t
pass, with silent contempt, the silly, per.
sonsl filings of the Temple editor, as ne il

endorsement of the great soulsd people

SHERMAN on TIE WAR PATH.

AS was expected, Mr.. John Sherman
now makes his appearance, camping on
he trail of the Macon meeting and the
speech of General Jackson. The illus
trious icicle of Ohio is now before the
public with the following statesmanlike
uttersnce:
Three months ago there was no dis
position on the part of the republicans to
revive war issues and stir up luminosity
between the north and south. Recent
allegations in the south, and glorifcation
OF JEFF Davis, with a speech made by
General Jackson at Macon, have COM
PEELED the republicans to face the issues
that with their consent would never again
have been brought to the surface
Why is he so particular about the xact
time: Does he want to exclude the flag
incident that occurred some five
months ago: Was it not at
that time the sectional cry was
raised by the north, if indeed the politi-
clans there had even let it die out, fact
that We deny. How reluctantly John
Sherman, Foraker and futile are driven
"to face the issues that with their consent
would never again have been brought to
the surface And those convincing, those
driving circumstances are recent allega-
tions in the south, and gloriication of
JEFF. Davis, with speech made by Gen
eral Jackson at Macon" Evidently the
soul of John Sherman is wrought up
within him. He does not
like the tone of Governor Gordon's
Ohio speech: in fact, he does not hesitate
to declare that "the bringing of General
Gordon into the Ohio canvass was bad
political move on the part of the demo-
cratic managers" Yes, it was bad pc.
litical error; but, not for the democratic
managers" Governor Gordon's noble
and ringing speech in Ohio, in justifi-
cation of the south's veneration for and
| loyalty to her past, her history and her
sons, put perpetual quietus, as far as all
fairminded people are concerned, upon
any capital republican politicians might
try to make out of the Macon celebra-
ton incidents. That speech put the
present status of the south in exactly its
true light. This section cleaves to the
views therein expressed, and a fair exam
nation of the facts and claims set forth by
it will convince other than hide-bound
bigots of the north that the south is right
Sherman's hypocritical expressions Of
regret, that he is forced to face an issue
he claims has Leen raised, de.

Had he had no pretext in alleged grave
facts upon which to erect an Issue for hi
expansion, combating and overthrowing
the country would not long have been lef
in doubt as to his ability to invent excuses
and issues out of the whole cloth. TIL,
only unfortunate part of the whole affai
is that it does furnish Sherman veal
and very bent peg upon which to hang
his bloody shirt; but peg so slanting i

A CONTRIBUTION in the shape of a
translation from one of Nirgirs Georgiacs,
points moral Texas farmers everywhere
should heed. The time is and should be
past when Texas has to send abroad for
her fruits and choicest vegetables. They
can be grown at home and there is money
in it. First-cla truck farms in Texas
would pay as well if not better than tax
ing so many chances on one single crop
either corn or cotton. The Texas farmers
are rapidly waking up to the truth of this
fact that Virgil sang of many years ago
